Bolt was initially developed by a Unity developer and is a plugin that allows us to make games in Unity without writing code by using a Node system. Later, Bolt was incorporated by Unity itself and it is still a plugin that enables us to create games in Unity without coding.
The node system is a visual system that enables us to reach a result by connecting units to each other.
When software students first get into programming, they see flowcharts, in Turkish also known as "akış şeması". The plugin that allows you to make games with these flowcharts has been developed in Unity under the name Bolt.
Bolt is a plugin that promises to let us do the operations done by code more quickly, and at the same time, it promises that people with no programming knowledge at all can also make games. Of course, I don't know how successful it is in this regard, but I know that it has not been used in any professional game developed so far.
If you ask my opinions about Bolt, I can say that it would be very useful for beginners in coding, and in fact, it's a plugin that can help beginners grasp the logic of coding.
Using it in games to be made professionally might slow down the game and bring optimization problems since it is a plugin that we install separately.
Of course, apart from increasing the game file size etc., I can say that doing visual programming greatly reduces your workload for things like making edits in the code.
For example, if there is any error in the algorithm, since the variable names here are not different and it is completely visual, anyone looking at this visual language can grasp your algorithm very easily and can help you find solutions faster or more correctly compared to a script written with normal code.
Additionally, you can catch mistakes in the algorithm you created according to the code and notice the mistakes you made faster here.
Anyway, without stretching the article any further, I leave here the Bolt introduction video prepared by Unity and end my article here.
To use the Bolt plugin in Unity, you can use the link below and add the Bolt plugin to your project.
